HAMZAH

I groan loudly to try and prevent Martin from speaking any further, his voice getting louder as he brings the mic closer to him with each word.

"Hamzah got exposed guys, it's real..." He says with one last breath. I scoff loudly as he exaggerates his tone.

I scoff, rolling my eyes, already knowing where this is going. Before I can chime in, Martin continues, voice growing more playful. "Dude, you gotta be careful though. People might start liking her more than you. They did that with Mandy."

I raise an eyebrow, barely suppressing a chuckle. "They always liked her better. Haven't you seen the comments? They literally called us her jesters."

"Oh damn, they're not wrong." He holds his chin with his two fingers as if contemplating something.

"Okay you actually gotta be careful though. That photo of you was actually taken from like an alleyway or something." Martin adds on before letting out a loud laugh.

I perk my head up, "No seriously, it was like a hidden camera, paparazzi or something." I exclaim, slightly letting my frustration show.

"That's how you know you've made it as you-tubers , when they take paparazzi photos of you with your girl." Martin laughs as he puts an arm around my shoulder.

"Yeah sure," I mutter, sarcasm dripping from my tone.

"At least now I can show everyone how tough it's been for me now that everyone knows you have a girlfriend. I mean, how long has it been since you two started dating?" He says, his mic finally further away.

I hesitate answering, "6 months now,"

"Okay but do you know the exactly how long? How many weeks, how many days, how many hours, seconds?" He bobs his head at me, as if trying to get me cancelled.

"Maybe not the hours and seconds... But I know the days!" I answer, he nods for my answer.

I take a deep breath, thinking it over. "Six months and... 22 days," I say, my voice uncertain.

I glance across the room, catching Y/N behind the camera. She shakes her head, an unamused glare on her face, clearly disappointed in my hesitation.

"Ah no! I meant 20..." I correct myself, my voice barely a whisper, but she nods with a grin, approving of the update.

Martin looks at me with a slightly smug expression. "Alright, good job, you know how to count," he teases, his tone sassier than usual..

I roll my eyes, leaning back in my chair as Martin laughs, throwing his arm around me as if we've just won some kind of victory.

"Hamzah's got a girlfriend!" He says repeatedly.

I glance over at Y/N, who is now smiling to herself as Martin continues to sing along to himself.

Her eyes meet mine for a moment, and she gives me a brief, teasing "what are you looking at?" look before offering a small smile. She waves, and I feel a warmth spread through me that I can't shake.

Maybe it's selfish, but...

I want to keep her to myself, just for now.

Just me, experiencing her, without anyone else knowing.

Maybe I'm just selfish.
